๐Ÿ’Ž AppKit | Alpha Announcement

TON is the blockchain built into Telegram. Apps built on TON can reach Telegram's billion+ users directly.

Until now, every team had to build wallet connections, transaction handling, and DeFi integrations from scratch. Weeks of work before a single line of product code.

Today we're announcing AppKit alpha to change that.

What's live now:
โ–ช๏ธ Wallet management and transaction sending
โ–ช๏ธ DeFi integration (swaps, staking)
โ–ช๏ธ TON Connect support
โ–ช๏ธ TypeScript and React support
โ–ช๏ธ LLM-friendly (describe an app, build a prototype in minutes)

WalletKit is also production-ready for wallet developers on iOS, Android, React Native, and Web.
More features coming at Gateway (May 1-2).

๐Ÿ’Ž TON AI Agent Hackathon is here!

$20,000. Two tracks. Two weeks.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10K)
Build tooling and primitives that help power the next generation of AI applications on TON. This can include wallet integrations, agent coordination, payment flows, developer tools, and other core infrastructure.


Track 2: User facing Agents ($10K)
Build AI agents that users can interact with directly inside Telegram. This can include commerce agents, payment bots, assistants, trading tools, automation products, and other practical AI-powered experiences. These agents can be both user-facing products and part of agent-to-agent interactions on TON, including payments, coordination, and trust.


This is a much bigger shift than just one hackathon.

A new stack is emerging
โ€ข Telegram is the interaction and distribution layer
โ€ข AI is the execution engine.
โ€ข TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.

BotFather MAU grew from 3.5M to 7.4M after AI agents started taking off on Telegram. Developers are already moving. Now itโ€™s time to join the best builders on TON.

๐Ÿ“† Hackathon dates: March 11-25

Sub-second finality: how to adapt your project

TON is rolling out Catchain 2.0, a consensus upgrade targeting sub-second block finality on mainnet in early April 2026.

What's changing:
โ€“ Block interval: ~2.5s โ†’ 200โ€“400ms
โ€“ Finalization lag: ~10s โ†’ ~1s
โ€“ Throughput: up to ~5 blocks/sec

But a faster chain alone won't help users if apps still rely on old API.

We've published a step-by-step adoption guide covering:

๐Ÿ”น Wallets & dApps: switch to TON Center Streaming API v2. Handle all four statuses: pending โ†’ confirmed โ†’ finalized โ†’ trace_invalidated.
๐Ÿ”น Self-hosted nodes & liteservers: update to the latest release with Catchain 2.0 support before mainnet activation.
๐Ÿ”น Indexers: prepare for up to 10x more blocks/sec. Connect to testnet and verify no lag accumulates over 30+ minutes.

Testnet already runs at sub-second speed. Test there now.

MyTonWallet and tonscan.org already use Streaming API and have nearly halved their reaction time, even before the mainnet upgrade.

๐Ÿ“– Full guide: How to adopt sub-second finality

Start adapting today. If your app isn't ready, users won't notice any improvement.
